My surgery was on May 29, 2014. I had been feeling ok up until today, I am weak shaky and really down. :/ anyone have any good pick me ups. More or less just some reassurance that I did the right thing. Thanks y'all!

just keep thinking about the new life you started and the reasons you started it.

Just extremely anxious to get life started again... This is the most frustrating part, I hope!

Make sure your not getting dehydrated, lots and lots of water. If your Drs plan allows.... protein. GNC has a clear protein drink (called Isopure I think), water it down or it will taste terrible. Also vitamins if Dr allows, they make liquid. It will help a ton. Beyond that patience, rest, and walk. You've just had major surgery and you will be tired and weak. By next week you'll be feeling much better.

The first couple of weeks are the hardest. You can do this! Hang in there!

TaylorR...my surgery was May 27th and every day I feel better. You will too. Hang in there! We can do this!

I am now 3 weeks out. I urge you to walk every day, drink plenty of water and you will feel better.

I am really liking what is happening to my body. Losing about 0.5lb minimum a day and feeling fitter every day.

Hang in there it does get better

I felt the same way I am now 5 weeks out and I couldn't be happier

I cried and cried the first few weeks thinking I made a bad decision too but no you didn't and things will start lookin up real soon!

Hang in there

Walk as much as possible

Thank you all so much, today was another day and better than yesterday. My husband leaves tomorrow to fish in alaska for the summer so I will have 2 months to focus on just me!

How much walking we're you guys doing by this point?

TaylorR

Walk as far as you feel you can.

I was told by my surgeon at least 200 yards 5 times a day ( started on day after op.

You need to build it until you are doing 30 minutes at a pace that makes you slightly breathless at least 3 times a week.

I am currently doing that 3 weeks post op.

My weight is also coming down at about 0.3- 0.5 lb a day
